Off week question: Boiled Peanuts...
- Thread starter AFDawg
- Start date
Thrown them on the ground. They use blowers to clean the stadium, and peanut shells blow easily to the end of the aisle. I worked on the baseball stadium crew in college and peanut shells are no big deal and are expected.
It's contract work. The picker uppers get paid to pick them up. I know someone that works for them and they are under contract through the season to work every Sunday after a game cleaning the stadium, Junction, etc. They get paid hourly wage, so by all means, throw those shells down to help some folks make a living!
From someone who has a kid with a peanut allergy - put them in a cup or something rather than on the ground. Those things get everywhere. But with that said, 99% of people are throwing them on the ground. It's one of those things that never crossed my mind till he came along... now I notice the damn shells everywhere. Luckily he's not so allergic that he can't be around them, just can't eat them.
Could you not put them in a cup, take them home, soak them in Dale's and consume them? Marinated peanut shells...might be onto something there.
I'll try to remember this next game if I get peanuts. Would he have a reaction by handling the shells? And who would downvote this?
Only if he put his hands in his mouth afterwards. Anytime we've seen him pick one up we've cleaned his hands with wetwipes. He's old enough now that he knows not to touch them. He will get sick from eating anything with even a trace of a nut --- throwing up, breaking out in hives, kind of choking. We carry epipens everywhere but fortunately haven't had to use one yet. We're hoping he'll grow out of it eventually. It really sucks having to look at everything we buy to see what it "may contain".
Most of the MLB and minor league teams now offer a few peanut free nights when they don't sell them and clean specific areas of the stadium so they are peanut free. Not sure about other sports. But I think some people are so allergic that they can't even risk being around them like they would be at a game.

I’ve honestly never even thought about kids with allergies coming in contact with the hulls. I’d be nervous as hell at games if my daughter had that allergy.
Right next to our seats this past Saturday, a group of people threw all their empty peanut shells on the seats just below them. So much so the family that sat beneath them had to go get extra napkins to clean of their seats. It was disgusting.
Why do do adults do things like that? I don’t mean right below them, I mean purposely on the seats in front. Didn’t offer to help clean or anything.

Like most you, apparently, I just put them on the ground. I do try to keep them sort of consolidated. But a family member with whom I was splitting a bag this Saturday put them back in the bag. It totally confounded me.
I'd never considered peanut allergies, though. That's a good reason not to toss them. Next time I'll probably find a cup.

One of my kids has the peanut allergy too. Works out ok. Anything I don't want broken, I just put peanut shells all around it.
Why just boiled peanuts?...
Is there some unique characteristics of boiled peanuts that make that relevant to this question? They are wet and I suppose that makes them a little more distasteful to handle although they are not really any dirtier than roasted and as someone said they blow the trash out anyway. With that said, a bunch of brine soaked peanut shells cannot hold a candle to cups of thick nasty spit left under seats. Imagine what happens to the contents of those when they get blown down the aisle.

Sorta. I used a blower in the football stadium in college. They are easy to blow to the end of the row, but then you blow that pile onto the next row down, then the next row down. 20 rows worth doesn't blow so easily.
Also, you cannot compare Dudy Noble to Scott Field-they are not quite on the same scale. There's a whole lot of 17'n peanut shells there on Monday afternoon.
have you never had the Fried peanuts that tell you on the bag, "eat the shell and all"?? they're terrible. don't do it.
Depends on location, I would pretty much think the same as skoal/tobacco. Where space permits (dove hunting, fishing, any other outdoor activity), just spit them wherever you can. I've gotten to where I like sunflower seeds so much that they're a staple for road trips. In that case, I take an empty solo cup to spit them into. But it never fails, one or two find their way out of the cup.
Kired, my son had an anaphalatic reaction to a teaspoon of peanut butter when he was 1 and we nearly lost him. He is now 10 and eats 10 grams of peanuts daily as his "medicine" to keep his tolerance up. He graduated from the OIT ( Oral Immunotherapy) program that Dr. Chacko provides at his practice here in GA. Look him up or just Google OIT. I am not sure who else offers the program but we were very fortunate to live near his practice. It has changed our lives now that we don't have to worry about ingredients or cross contamination.
As long as you are in a dugout, spit away. Otherwise use a cup.
BTW.....I once boiled my peanuts in a jacuzzi.
Agree, forgot to mention that. I personally can't eat sunflower seeds while playing golf, get too aggravated that I'm scared I'd choke on em.

they do not pose a long term threat to the universe.
Eat, chunk, hope nobody sees you.
